Japan’s Metaplanet has outpaced Strategy in Bitcoin accumulation, purchasing 1,111 BTC last week, approximately five times more than the US-based firm acquired in the same period.
According to a June 23 disclosure, Metaplanet spent approximately $118 million on its latest purchase, securing the Bitcoin at an average price of $105,468 per coin.
With this addition, Metaplanet now holds 11,111 BTC, valued at over $1.1 billion at current market prices.
The firm’s average purchase price across all holdings is $95,458, putting its total investment at around $1.06 billion. This means Metaplanet is currently holding onto a paper gain of roughly $60 million.
Meanwhile, the latest acquisition also pushes the company closer to its 2025 goal of 30,000 BTC and marks 11% progress toward its 2026 target of 100,000 BTC.
Strategy maintains to.p spot
While Metaplanet made headlines with its aggressive buy, Strategy, the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin holder, also increased its reserves.
In a June 23 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company announced that it had purchased 245 BTC for $26 million at an average of $105,856 per coin, marking its fourth acquisition this month.
However, this purchase is one of its smallest since March 17, when it acquired 130 BTC for $10.7 million.
Meanwhile, proceeds from its perpetual preferred stock offerings, including STRK and STRF, funded the latest purchases.
Last week, the Michael Saylor-led firm said it raised $17.4 million from selling 166,566 STRK shares and $8.7 million from 84,354 STRF shares. These programs still have $22.6 billion in capacity combined to fund future purchases.
Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings now stand at 592,345 BTC, acquired for approximately $41.87 billion. The firm’s average entry price across these holdings remains $70,861. At Bitcoin’s current market value, it sits on an unrealized profit of around $20 billion.
Despite the smaller acquisition, Strategy reported a year-to-date BTC yield of 19.2%. This metric reflects the percentage increase in Bitcoin holdings per company share, indicating consistent accumulation even as competition intensifies.
